DANCING IN THE CAGE OF A SOUL
Ach’s Sunday Suit | Alexander Ach Schuhs Sonntagsanzug
Hope you can join us celebrating this Sunday afternoon with a eclectic jazz + tropical mix of fresh and vintage upbeat styles. Opening with Hailu Mergia and his brand new manic sensation of urban-ethiopian music delivered in his upcoming album „Lala Belu“ produced by „Awesome Tapes From Africa“ (Release date March 9, 2018). Followed by a another jazzy afrobeat scoop from the Austrian band Shake Stew written by the Shake Stew leader and bass player Lukas Kranzelbinder (Album release „Rise And Rise“ April 6, 2018). The stirring up of tropical rhythms and references continues with the outstanding Descarga elegance by Los Propios Bateros, enchanted Mexican landscapes in the wide angle by La Mecanica Popular, both 7-inches issued by the NYC label Names You Can Trust. But there is no Ach Schuh Mix without really rare treasures, latin rare groove deluxe such as Colombian cumbias by Antolin y su Combo Orense (1960s), and driving caribbean columbian beats from Barranquilla by Emila Herrera (1980s), Peruvian descargas by Aniceto y sus Fabulosos and Coco Lagos y sus Orates (1970s). More gems appear in this wonderfully swelling stream, such as Bubbha Thomas & The Lightmen’s early jazz funk masterpiece “109 Psychosomatic” (1970) and dr. Nicos insanely friendly Hawaian Mambo (early 1960s).
